As special as Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson is, he isn’t the same type of receiver out of the backfield as Charles. Peterson only has 169 receiving yards all season.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia Eagles’ RB LeSean McCoy is similar in style to Charles. Charles still surpassed McCoy with Sunday’s effort. McCoy’s best receiving output this season is 114 yards. Charles clearly eclipsed the mark, and the two are nearly tied in total yardage.

McCoy entered the day leading the NFL with 1,744 total yards. He will leave Sunday with 1,850 total yards. Charles now has 1,836 yards.

The difference between the two is the amount they contribute to their teams. Charles accounts for 37 percent of the Chiefs offense. McCoy is only 31 percent of the Eagles’ offense.

Jamaal Charles not only proved he is the NFL’s best running back this season; he should also vault into MVP conversation because of Sunday’s performance.
